How it Works
This program is geared toward students who are rising Seniors wanting to enter a degree in a college program for musical theatre, dance, acting, and more. We break the process down section by section, supporting, coaching, and mentoring your students every step of the way!
Through June and July, students will begin to identify and prep their materials for pre-screen auditions, which take place in early Fall. Students will review school requirements, create spreadsheets to stay organized, make deadlines, and have dedicated study halls, with access to College Process coaches to ask questions and plan. Then, they will transition to confirming their pre-screen selection near the end of the summer, narrow down their school selections, participate in group coachings and mock auditions with a local, professional panel, attend Q&A sessions with top colleges around the nation, and begin their individualized consult sessions. This is also a great time to schedule headshots with KBT Productions Photography as part of the full package deal.
In August, the program becomes more individualized with private coachings. Students will begin their private 1:1 coachings to prepare to film their pre-screen audition videos, which also includes being assigned their choreographer for their dance requirements. Our 1:1 coachings are NOT vocal technique classes, although some vocal techniques may be discussed. It is strongly recommended that the students continue vocal training by a voice teacher while simultaneously working on their pre-screen auditions. Students will be assigned different coaches throughout their 8 coachings, based on their material requirements and faculty availability.
In September, coachings will continue and most pre-screens will be filmed. Students will select a day and time that will be blocked off for them to film at CSTC Studios with our College Process directors. All footage will be recorded with professional equipment and returned to the student to select their final materials for submission in a timely manner. The goal is to start to apply for programs by end of September/early October.
Through the Fall/Winter, students will be following up with our coaches to ensure their applications are submitted before deadlines. Students will also immediately start identifying/refining their callback material to prepare for future auditions and select audition dates for in-person auditions or Unifieds, etc. More coachings will be scheduled to rehearse and prepare for those callbacks.
